Horizon

... and watched the whole thing in the hope that perhaps the plot took some amazing twist that may have made up for an overall very substandard viewing experience. It didn't.

The plot is too much based on dumb people with dumber reactions. Man, I hate stupid, screaming people. Five minutes in and I was rooting for everyone to die... horribly. The CGI... well, just try and ignore the CGI. Was this a "let's use some town budget and make a movie around here" kind of production?

...even actors can not hide smiles however situation seems to be serious...

Oh the British! With their bland diet and blander movies. Stick to making movies about the Crown.

The entire movie is drab, bland and comedic to a fault. The characters are boring, Britain is boring and the movie is thoughtless. I don't know why the Brits even attempt movies other than the Crown or other period pieces! I watched a British horror film that was absolutely dead pan!! LMAO There is nothing scary about the British. Now I absolutely love a brilliant British movie, period piece. The ambience, costumes, the air and allure; Brittany should really keep to those types of topics. Don't get me wrong, I love England! God bless William and Kate! But they are not known for anything other than theater and royalty. I would love to go to an English theater and watch opera. But they are not known for that are not Known for their cuisine, are they? Lol.

I watched the first 45 minutes and wow. What a mess.

First it was near impossible to keep the characters straight. The introductions were not clear at all. Sisters, brothers, steps, fiancees, girlfriends. Who's who? And what are their motivations? Personalities? They all seem 20ish, 30ish and mildly dysfunctional. Not much differentiation.

Then the not very credible story line. A spaceship appears and somehow overturns cars (opening scene). Then a short time later people are rioting and looting. Next an EMP hits but it does not affect the electrical grid. After that we learn there is only one spaceship and it is only effecting Bristol. So why are people going berserk? Why not just get in your car and go elsewhere? Cornwall is pretty, maybe there?

And where is the military? There is only one soldier so far, and he seems to be in the employ of some Russian mafia group.

Finally the women. I am by no means a feminist, but the female characters are hysterical and useless. They can barely go two minutes without screaming or needing some direction from the men. It's like some 1950s sci fi in this regard.

I am now going to look for some spoilers so I do not have to see the rest.
